FIR Against TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee, Rahul Gandhi For Mimicking VP Jagdeep Dhankhar; Jat Community Expresses Outrage

In a recent development, advocate Abhishek Gautam has filed a police complaint against Trinamool Congress (TMC) Member of Parliament Kalyan Banerjee.

The complaint stems from an incident in which Banerjee was captured on video mimicking Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, within the premises of the parliament complex.

Gautam, expressing his concerns, stated, “The video widely circulated showed the MP mimicking the Vice President to defame and insult not only him but also his community, his farmer background, as well as the legal fraternity and also the democratic institution of this country. I have filed an FIR against Kalyan Banerjee and other MPs who were present there, enjoying the show, including Rahul Gandhi, under section 500/153/34 of IPC.”

The filed FIR accuses the involved MPs of violating sections 500 (defamation), 153 (provocation with intent to cause riot), and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.

In a show of support for Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, members of the Jat community organised a protest march towards the Congress Office.

The community expressed its solidarity with the Vice President, condemning the incident and demanding accountability from those involved.

The video, which has been widely circulated on social media, has sparked outrage and discussions regarding the boundaries of political satire and decorum within the parliamentary setting.

As the police complaint takes its course, the incident has become a focal point for debates on parliamentary conduct and the responsibility of elected representatives in upholding the dignity of public offices.
